Jobu88 vs RNLTiger ( Tiger - no peeking!)

[Jobu88]

Oof. Some good, some bad on Turn 20.

First, my flamethrowers unloaded most of their fuel into the woods & I heard some foul language in Russian coming from that area, so I think / hope my fire was effective.




But, Tiger very deviously mortared the very same woods where my boys were massing, an 81mm mortar judging by the shellburts and the fact that damn near every German in the woods is hugging the earth. I had some squads firing at the mortar in an attempt to pin him, but he was unaffacted and he blasted me good for 60 seconds. Fortunately, both of the HQs commanding the assault have positive morale modifiers.







Finally, my brave tank hunter got smoked by overwhelming Russian fire. Might have been better to retreat him to safety as he was out of AT weapons, but he was drawing combat pay & his job was to keep fighting. At least he kept the Russians' attention while my platoon crept through the woods.
